General Discussion / Re: Introduce Yourself!

What introduced you to RimWorld? Or to this style of game in general?
I'm subscribed to r/basebuildinggames on Reddit, and they linked the video. It looked interesting, and I saw there was a chance of testing it out, so I materialised.

What's your favorite other game?
Difficult question. Civilisation or Myst would be the two I'd say if I'm pushed, although Minecraft should be up there as well. Other games I enjoy are Dungeon Keeper 2, Anarchy Online, the Might and Magic RPGs (7 and 8 in particular), and the Sierra city builders (Caesar, Pharoah, Zeus, Emperor).

Most embarrassing gaming-related story?
My boyfriend and I were playing modded minecraft. I had heard him giggling for the past hour, and asked me to come over to his base (we have teleporters between the two). I, being a fool, suspected nothing, appeared at his base, and was instantly launched onto and off various jump pads inspired by Portal to a square room underground, with the word "HI" written in torches on the wall. That isn't the embarrassing part.

The embarrassing part is when I tried to get out of it and got lost and ended up trapping myself in his nuclear reactor. Whoops.

What kind of breakfast cereal is the best?
I don't eat cereal nowadays. Porridge is where it's at, with lots of honey and some cinnamon.

Have you tested a game before its release?
No, I haven't - I've been in open betas (War for the Overworld being the primary one) but not private ones. So long as someone points me to what to do, I'll do science on this game and try my best to break it for you.  ;D
Are you willing and able to record a video of your first playthrough so I can look at it?
Yes. I'll also keep notes of things I do. I can offer a very ditzy but reasonably intelligent start, with lots of stupid mistakes, as well as a stream of out loud thinking to help see the questions I'm asking while playing. I'd be using Open Broadcaster as my software of choice for recording.

This game looks intriguing and feels like it could become an excellent base building game. I'm mostly a city-builder and rpg player, although I've messed around with a couple of base builders (Overlord, Evil Genius, Dungeon Keeper).

Thanks for your time. :)
